Operation Infestation Nearly Complete!

Well, we're just about done "infesting" our house with spiders for Friday night's Halloween festivities. So happy to have it done - I think it looks pretty good considering this is our first year.If you know me, you know I like to keep with a concept when decorating for holidays and parties and this year is no different. Thankfully, Mr. Limestone is a good sport and only partially resents me when I send him up on the roof to hang cobwebs or interupt his football watching to arrange a giant spider on our house :)I planned on carving a few pumpkins but after putting all this stuff up today, I really didn't have the energy. So one carved pumpkin and one uncarved adorn the doorway. Both were spraypainted black and I really dig the glossy look. Orange is so last year. (just kidding!)I made up these "warning" signs which I think are fun (and just about free, so thats always a bonus!) For anyone who takes the NYC subway on a regular basis, its sort of like the rat poison signs that so gracefully liter our great metro.The only thing I have left to do is get a flood light to add some illumination as the regular porch light doesn't really do much.Happy Haunting!

That looks amazing. I hardly had time/energy to make a few glitter pumpkins and put out my fall scented candles...how do you do it all?I am in love with the huge spider web and spider. Where did you find that, and how in the world is the spider and web attached to your house? The trick or treaters coming to your house this year are sure lucky!!

Oh my God, that looks frigging amazing. You are one decorating goddess. I have always thought Halloween decorations were a little tacky, but somehow you have managed to make the classiest Halloween (and also the most inventive and terribly droll) EVER!

I am gobsmacked.

I have officially decided that if I could pick any one blogger to come decorate my house, it would be you. You kick butt sister!

Those posters are the icing on the cake. Wicked!

P.S. Your neighbors must be feeling seriously outdone (and probably also want to be your friend and come to your amazing house and just be near you and your brilliance). hehe.

Sweedaisy: The larger web is tied to the steel beams on the roof and the stone steps. The spider is hung out of my bedroom window (its tied to my bed inside to keep it stable). Everything else is just held down by tying it to the various nooks and crannies.

WOW!!!! Your Halloween palace is fantastic!! I love all the creepy crawlies and how you interpreted them throughout your entire decor theme. I bet the kids (little and grown-up ones alike) will love walking by and trick and treating at your home!

Thank you for coming by my blog, as I am very happy to find yours!! :)

As someone who is NOT a Halloween fan, I have to say your place looks amazing. We had a house down the block from us who did the large spiders as well, but yours look much better. This would have been awesome to see in person.
